Transition to Infor: Our Infor Go-Live Date is Approaching - Here's What to Know

You have seen the headlines on the Insider, checked out the information and resources on UMMSConnect and completed the training. So what happens next? Below are some message points for you to use in your team meetings and huddles.

What to Expect and How to Prepare for Go-Live

• Training for employees at UMMC DTC, UMMC MTC and UM Rehab & Ortho Institute is nearly complete.

  • As of October 16, approximately 80% of employees have completed their assigned eLearning. 

  • If you have not completed your training, please log into the UMMS U Learning Management System for more information, to see your transcript and to complete your training. 

  • If your training includes courses that are prefixed with "SCM," you must  complete these items to activate your access to the Infor system.

  • Tips:

    • You only need to take the training that you have been assigned.

    • Take your eLearning courses in numeric order.

    • Use Internet Explorer to access e-Learning on UMMS U.

  • For questions about the training, please speak with your manager or contact Supply Chain Management (SCM) training coordination: InforTrainingAssignmentRequest@umm.edu.

     

• We are ensuring a seamless transition:

  • The Supply Chain Management freeze that has been in place has allowed the project team to prepare the data and perform the data conversions.

  • The Materials Management teams at UMMC Downtown Campus, UMMC Midtown Campus and UM Rehab & Ortho Institute are preparing their supply locations.

     

• Questions? Between now and go-live, contact your local Operational Champion:

 

         What to Expect After Go-Live          

• During the early part of the rollout, we anticipate that processes may initially be slower, and we may learn about some issues that will require resolution.

• A robust post go-live support model will be in place until our operational environments are stabilized to ensure continuity in business processes.

• You will be able to get help with questions by phone. The dates, hours and contact information will be published on your local Insider and UMMSConnect on November 2.

• In-person help with questions will be available at UMMC Downtown Campus, UMMC Midtown Campus and UM Rehab & Ortho Institute. The dates, hours and room location(s) for each site will be published on your local Insider and UMMSConnect on November 2.

   

  ABOUT THE MOVE TO INFOR

  Infor, which is already used by some UMMS member organizations for Human Resources, Payroll, Supply Chain, and Financial Management, is a best-in-class system which will increase automation, streamline processing and standardize reporting. Now, we’re expanding it to deliver these benefits System-wide.

  This change to Infor is another vital step toward our vision of One UMMS, streamlining our processes to produce greater collaboration, enhanced operations and, ultimately, higher quality care to the people of Maryland.
